BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Just past the quarter-pole of the long track that is the AHL season, defenceman Andre Benoit already has seven goals for the Binghamton Senators.

The 28-year old native of St. Albert can’t even begin to explain why.

“Hopefully it just keeps happening,” said Benoit, whose career AHL high is the 11 he scored for the 2010-11 Senators. “They come in bunches a lot. It’s nothing different I’m doing, but I’ll take them.”

Benoit would like to see a repeat of that 2010-11 campaign for the team. That spring, Binghamton won the Calder Cup — the first championship for the Senators organization.

“It’s so tough to compare the teams,” said Benoit. “We’ve got a good thing going now, but at some point we’ll hit adversity, and that’s when we’ll really see what kind of team we have.

“We were really strong in net (in ‘10-11 with Barry Brust and Robin Lehner). I think that’s the constant between those two teams. In this league it makes a big difference, and our goalies have been really good this year. That’s a big advantage.”
